A Labour stronghold for over 57 years ,what does this say about Boris’s leadership ?
Well done Jill Mortimer

YMB: "Well it's always nice to see labour getting a trouncing, but long term is it really good for the country?" - party pooper! ...I take your point but come on let's enjoy the glow that kicking the sheet out of Labour always brings!

which he has been doing untitled. This pandemic caught everyone out and i am glad to see that the roll out of the vaccine goes on unabated.

We had weeks of warning emmie... which Johnson squandered. This episode has been popped down the memory-hole... but the initial stages of a pandemic are the most most crucial ones.

The only Labour woman MP who seems to have any grasp of the situation is Allison McGovern, and one of the few I can stand to listen to. She would have a hard job making Labour favourable again but at least she is not one of the 'angry' mob of women who can't be interviewed without screwing her face up and trying to point score over Boris's leadership.

Andy Burnham is a good candidate for Labour, I like him

Well done Boris and team, and well done people of Hartlepool. Labour are finished.

Kudos to the people of Hartlepool for electing the first ever woman MP there, and also showing Sir Keir Brylcreem Labour can't take the North for granted. And it wasnt even close. The Tories are well and truly the party of the North and the working class. Sir Keir and his sanctimonious metropolitan-elite liberal hand-wringers are done for. RIP Labour, its been average.

My thoughts are that this time the good burghers of Hartlepool have well and truly hung the monkey - and hung him out to dry.

What amuses me, is the desperate need to blame someone - an individual, in this case poor Starmer. What the left don't realise is, the whole lot of them (well most), the Nandys, Abbotts, Corbyns. et al are simply a completely hapless shower.

If the disillusioned hard-left (really Communists) now think the problem is the party isn't radical enough, then heaven help them.

Meanwhile Boris just keeps walking on the water & what kind of wallpaper he uses doesn't cut it for the population at large.
